I'm developing on Ubuntu 10.04 with Python/Django.
I'm having a weird and very inconsistent problem over here.
It is even hard to explain, but here we go. I'm using PIL (a Python Module for working with images), suddenly I noticed that some times (only sometimes and I can not predict when and can not create this my self when trying) when I create the directories for the images I am getting the directories as alias and not as folder (using Mac so this is in the Finder) and I can not access those directories from the finder or the PyDev. But I can see them as directories when using SSH to access the server from the terminal.
In general it wouldn't have bothered me, but this is the first time I've see this problem and just need to know if any one has any idea what it is and how to solve it?
EDIT:
- server is Ubuntu 10.04
- client is Snow Leopard
- from client to server: a, terminal (iTerm) over ssh, Can see every thing same as always. b, finder with ExpanDrive mount over SFTP getting mostly ok but some of the folders created with PIL come out as Alias (in the Kind column) and i can not see the content (only in finder)
ls -ldq@
say about the directories?@
(which I take it you dropped) is actually the most important of those options, as it shows if there is any Finder metadata associated with it. The name of the directory and the names of things within are important because they can cause Finder to consider them to be bundles or other special entries; again, you didn't provide them, so there's no way for anyone to tell. (And you need to run thatls
on the Mac, not on Ubuntu, since Ubuntu doesn't know about OS X metadata or the magic OS X uses to store it on non-HFS+.)
